Well, all installed with textures / dx11 stuff and it doesnt look THAT different while playing, and the framerate has gone down from solid 60+ to around 35-40... quite disappointed.

thats on Core i5 2500k @ 4.5ghz, and 2x 6950's shader unlocked, @ 1080p btw

Let me check as well!

 

[SulacoSystems]

Before 1.9
extreme, no blur dx9

ultra, dx11, hi res texture package, no blur fps drop of 5-10

guess it doesnt matter as crytek make kinect games now :/

From what I've read on rage3d the hi res textures require a 64 bit exe yet there isn't one ?

why would they release it if it cant be used?

 

[Dudderz123456]

Well this patch has hammered my fps from around 50 to 15 :/

Yup pretty much same here. And tbh it doesnt look different enough to warrant the drop

 

[Murray]

Hasn't changed my fps but it looks the same really -.-

 

[trigger-happy]

yay crysis 2 is updating on steam

 

[gropingmantis]

Yup FPS is down to 35-40 as well and the differences are not that huge. Shadows are definitely better and reflections but the high res textures dont seem to be working??

Lol the AI is still totally retarded and broken and fire still looks crap compared to Crysis or Farcry 2.

Also I forgot how annoying the begining of this game was. "Press B to open visor options" "Err...No?" "Press B to open visor options" "FFFFFUUUUUUU". "Press E to enter stealth mode" "No I don't want to" *nothing happens whilst the game waits for me to do as I am told*.

I'm sorry crytek but I thought I was supposed to be playing this game. Is your main office in Soviet Russia now?

You're somehow expecting an Api patch to magically enhance Ai?

No but I was just making an observation.

DX11 tesselation is certainly working, look at the bricks:

Look at the memory usage in afterburner as well though! Going to need 3GB cards for eyefinity/surround. This is fully maxed.

 

[kmufc77]

Quoted from another forum:

A 64bit operating system and graphics card with at least 1 GB of memory are required to use that texture pack.

Edit:^ Looks great above
